A friend just revealed to me that the middle name of Benoit B. Mandelbrot is Benoit B. Mandelbrot.

@UnsolicitedHQ @JoseyWales_Spit @Hortysir I don't have an answer to fix everything. But human nature hasn’t fundamentally changed since US politicians started ignoring their constitutional limitations ~250 years ago, so retrying the same basic approach to government will bring the same terrible results.

@UnsolicitedHQ @JoseyWales_Spit @Hortysir Real constitutionalism has never been tried, right?

@SmarterGameShow Thanks, but I prefer for my wife not to be a blathering sycophant.

@senatorshoshana @scottlincicome Excellent advice, but how is “shop like your mom and prepare your own food” esoteric knowledge? Has it always been normal to burn so much money on lunch?

[Murphy Ratbeard @MurphyRatbeard]

@senatorshoshana I wouldn't want to live there for various reasons, but during each visit I wish I visited more often.

My family really enjoyed Phyllis Root’s Rattletrap Car, and Rosen & Oxenbury’s We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.

I’ve always liked The Berenstain Bears, but I wouldn’t bother with the ones by Mike Berenstain. He isn’t nearly as good as his parents were, and his books read like mediocre Sunday School lessons.

@ActualNames1 Whatever else might be wrong with them, civil forfeiture cases have the best names.

@GodIsVoluntary But the Bible has no problem with it!

@FightWithMemes Sure, she could stand to lose a few score pounds, but she was doing pretty well considering how much weight she had to move.

@Hortysir No, John Moses Browning.

Who is your favorite historical figure from your state?

[Murphy Ratbeard @MurphyRatbeard]

@Hortysir But seriously, may their memories be a blessing. I haven’t personally known anyone who died in the military, but I have a family members who’ve been fucked in various ways by it, including a brother I half expected to never see again when he went to Afghanistan.

[Murphy Ratbeard @MurphyRatbeard]

@Hortysir That's actually called a firing squad.

@Hortysir You really shouldn’t post that.

@AncapAir If it can run GLaDOS, it can definitely run Linux.
